4 days to go - I'm sick! :(

[stacy87]

I only have 4 more days to go until we leave for WDW, and yesterday I fell ill with what I think is a flu bug

I feel so awful I've missed a few days of my placement, and am now worrying about everything I still have to do before we leave. It's not good! I hope I'm better soon!

fingers crossed its just a quick bug and then you can start getting excited about going

Eek, I hope you feel better soon.

I hope you get over it really soon, and that you have an amazing time!

4 days is a fair amount of time to start to feel better. Hope you do sooner than that! A good dose of sunshine should help speed up the process when you get there too.

Im sure you will be fine.Just drink plenty and take paracetamol (nursing head on) The day before we went last time I felt groggy and the flight was awful as I was freezing cold with a raging temperature.First day was at IOA and I felt AWFUL. Turned out had a chest infection.Had 2 days in the room and then was ok.My gp is very good and gave me some antibiotics to take with me luckily so didnt have an expensive bill.
At least you will be over the worst before you go.Take it steady

Oh I hope you soon feel better

How very inconvenient, I can't imagine how frustrated you must feel. Just rest up for a day, don't fight it, and I am sure you will bounce back quickly. At least you are not going tomorrow, you have plenty of time to sort everything. Hope you feel 100% very soon

Drink plenty of water, take Para/Neuro and WILL yourself better

Easier said than done I know

Have a couple of Hot Toddys and that will help clear it in no time!!! You should be fine in four days, just try not to worry aswell

That happened to me last august and my doctor advised me not to fly although i had been quite ill for awhile. I didn't listen to him, no one will stop me

I stocked up on medication, drank plenty of water and rested as much as my children would allow! I had started packing months in advance but as the last days came near I literally stuffed everything i could think of into a case (family of five!) and ironed it when i got there. My hubby did help but i am quite fussy and like everything done my way but i did give in this once

Hope you feel better soon and enjoy your trip

Take paracetamol every four hour. Also buy some ear plugs as having a bad cold affects your ears - I had this once and it wasnt pleasant on the flight.

Drink lots of orange juice and get some vitamin c tablets and really pump yourself up.

I am sure you will be fine.

Thanks everyone for the tips! I have been resting all day and drinking lots of water and been taking paracetamol. I'm feeling a bit better than I was yesterday, but have phoned my placement to say I won't be in tomorrow - best for me not to be around sick people if I'm still contagious!!!

I will keep thinking positive, and hopefully will be better in no time!!

hi,
i would deffo recommend ear plugs as ive travelled with flu like symptoms and my ears nearly killed me until i put them foamy things in. stock up on meds (strong paracetamol) and berrocca (orange flavour vitamin drink is great to have a energy pick me up)

hope you feel better soon, and remember the best medication is thinking about Disney itself, always brightens up my day!!

HI we fly out from Glasgow on thursday morning and i'm full of the cold too. Just trying to decide wether i should visit the doctors incase it goes in to my chest when we get there. But take care and rest up perhaps we will see each other sniffing away one day xx
